Here is my code:
<object id="flashObj" width="640" height="390" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0">
<param name="movie" value="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isSlim=0" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />
<param name="flashVars" value="videoId=3945004669001&playerID=2868544859001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAABvZFMzE~,IXjx0MpOF0rs6Zj6tTY84DVV4TqsG9K-&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true" />

<param name="seamlesstabbing" value="false" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="swLiveConnect" value="true" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
<embed src="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isSlim=1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashVars="videoId=3945004669001&playerID=2868544859001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAABvZFMzE~,IXjx0MpOF0rs6Zj6tTY84DVV4TqsG9K-&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" width="640" height="390" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" swLiveConnect="true" allowScriptAccess="always" pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash></embed>
</object>
What code do I need to add, or how can I otherwise prevent this from autoplaying?

Answer 1

You could try something like adding flashvars="play=false"
However whether that will work or not depends on a number of different unknowns.
Check out How to make an embedded video not autoplay The first answer gives a far better explaination of it than I can.
However personally if this were a problem I were facing, assuming there was nothing stopping me from doing it I would use HTML5's video tag convert the desired video to MP4 and use it that way
Check out W3cshools for more info on HTML 5 video http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp
I hope that helps !
